Today's list continues the papers by authors whose name begins with 'P'. In addition I have added several books, including a few rare books, such as Garman's Galapagos Tortoises and both a colored and blackand white copy of Schinz's beautiful atlas of reptiles.
Please let me know if you would like anything from this list.
